Soul Mate Tree Series

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Fantasy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK SERIES BLURB:

An ancient legend spanning eras, continents, and worlds.
To some, it’s nothing more than a dream.
To others, a pretty fairy tale handed down through the generations.
For those in critical need of their own happy ending, a gift.

THE LEGEND OF THE SOUL MATE TREE

I am old, I am ancient, my purpose is clear
To give those who are needy a treasure so dear.
They who come to my roots, touch my bark, stroke my leaves
Find the soul of their lives if they but believe.
When I call and you listen, your prize will be great
If your heart remains open and you don’t hesitate.
Do you yearn? Be you lonely? Is your time yet at hand?
Reach for me and I’ll give to you. I’m yours to command.
For your trust, for your faith, keep my secrets untold
And I’ll gift you forever, to have and to hold.

GUEST POST:

The Soul Mate Tree Series

Twelve books, twelve authors. A series that casts an ancient tree as matchmaker, stretching across time, across worlds . . . even universes.

This is the basis of The Soul Mate Tree Series.

Hi, we’re Char Chaffin and Cheryl Yeko, Senior Acquiring Editors for Soul Mate Publishing, and The Soul Mate Tree is our brainchild.

In 2015, we started looking for more of a long-range book series project we could develop as editors plus showcase some of Soul Mate’s talented authors. We finally came up with the idea of an ancient ‘Soul Mate Tree’ that had the power to connect soul mates together over time and space. We saw it as a multi-author effort, taking place over the course of a year, one book release at a time. When we presented the idea to Soul Mate Owner and Senior Editor Debby Gilbert, she fell in love with the premise and gave it her professional blessing.

Right away we knew we needed a hook of some kind if we were going to create a series from the writings of at least twelve different authors. After deciding on series parameters and the physical attributes and magical abilities of the tree, we sketched out a poem, The Legend of the Soul Mate Tree, for our series hook:

THE LEGEND OF THE SOUL MATE TREE

I am old, I am ancient, my purpose is clear
To give those who are needy a treasure so dear.
They who come to my roots, touch my bark, stroke my leaves
Find the soul of their lives if they but believe.
When I call and you listen, your prize will be great
If your heart remains open and you don’t hesitate.
Do you yearn? Be you lonely? Is your time yet at hand?
Reach for me and I’ll give to you. I’m yours to command.
For your trust, for your faith, keep my secrets untold
And I’ll gift you forever, to have and to hold.

Within the lines of the poem are what each potential soul mate does to find each other: they first see the tree, then they touch it. Most of all, they are in need and they believe.

Once we set everything in motion amongst our authors and culled interest from a dozen interested writers, the project took on a life of its own. Because we opened the project to any genre, we ended up with paranormal, contemporary, historical, time travel, and sci-fi/fantasy plotlines, each fitting perfectly into the original parameters and each promoting our magical tree and its abilities.

Over the next few months each book in the series will be featured, with links and fun blogs from each author. We’d love for you to follow along with us! You can find the entire series at the Amazon buy link below.

AUTHOR BIO – CHAR CHAFFIN:


Char Chaffin writes multi-genre romance filled with family, rich characters and engaging plots. For her, it all comes back to the love.

Utilizing multiple romance genres, she crafts strong yet flawed heroes and heroines who find each other against all odds. She is currently working on her eighth novel.

Her love of romance and erotica interspersed with paranormal, horror, science fiction, and fantasy has inflated her reading collection into several groaning bookcases and an overburdened Kindle. Char voraciously reads in between writing novels, novellas, and short stories. She is multi-published, and always working on that next manuscript.

In addition to her solo releases, Char also co-writes with fellow editor and BFF Cheryl Yeko under their pen name, CiCi Cordelia.

Char is a member of several writing groups, and RWA National as well as Alaska’s RWA chapter.

Char and husband Don divide their time between two homes: Fairbanks, Alaska, and the Coastal Bend of Texas.

  12. Hi, we're C.D.Hersh, a husband and wife writing team who believe in true love and happily ever after. Commenting a little late as Catherine is recovering from shoulder surgery and Donald is busy as nurse, chief cook and bottle washer. We co-authored the second book in the Soul Mate Tree Series, Can't Stop the Music, the 2018 Raven Award winner in the Contemporary Music Category. This second-chance romance starts at the 1969 Woodstock music festival and is filled with magic from the Soul Mate Tree and the magic of the groovy music from the '60s. This year is the 50th anniversary of Woodstock so this would be a perfect story to read this year. We hope you will enjoy our book as well as the other great stories in the Soul Mate Tree Book Series.
